I just got a Neo Geo cabinet that is in pretty bad shape,But iam gonna rebuild it. Can I use the 2 joystick and buttons on the cabinet and wire it for USB or gameport? There are many wires to deal with, or should i just buy one of those arcade X boards. I like the feel of the neo stick though |

Yes you can and should use your current controls. You wire them to a keyboard encoder like the ipac (http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html). There are lots of wires, but the wiring is actually pretty simple. Read this (http://www.arcadecontrols.com/arcade_wiring.shtml) to get a good idea of what's involved. |

Thanks for the response will look into that. What one do i order if i want to use a track ball also and use usb port to save ps2 port for keyboard and mouse? |
| pointdablame:
To use a trackball and/or spinner, you will need an OptiPac from Ultimarc.com. For the controls, assuming you are keeping a 2 player control setup, you need an Ipac2. Hope that helps. |

What trackball do you recommend and I would like a 4 way joystick for pac-man and such ::) |
